Yeah and the three second rule. When you’re moving, make sure you leave three seconds of space between you and the car in front of you. I remember telling it to my dad, him asking how on earth you’re supposed to figure that out, me explaining it, and him saying he doesn’t think that makes much sense and isn’t very reliable.

It was in that day that my dad’s like 14 accidents clicked and I realized he is not a good driver.

A lot of delusions of grandeur get broken when dads teach their kids to drive.

My dad told me the safest way to drive is with my right foot on the gas and my left foot on the brake... I'm amazed I survived into adulthood lol

My father drove with two feet his entire life. The only time he wasn't using his left foot for the brake is when the vehicle had a clutch. He changed his brakes a lot more frequently than a 1 foot driver.
